The name derives from ‘chabudai’ in Japanese, which is a small tea table. This is what inspired Nendo’s project that combines sleek design and elegant craftsmanship. The light structure can be adjusted to two different heights for maximum flexibility: the black surface with curved beech edge sits on a slender but very stable tubular base. The top is a tray that can also be used separately.
Materials BASE: black powder-coated steel. Thermoplastic feet.
TRAY: top in birch plywood (class E1, CARB P2 / TSCA Title VI certified) covered with black HPL laminate, with edge in solid curved beechwood, wax-treated.
